This test's existence was predicated upon assumptions about the full
range of known data types and known data into those types. However,
we've learned from Microsoft that there are several undocumented secret
registry types that are in use by various parts of Windows, and we've
learned from inspection that many Microsoft uses of registry types don't
strictly adhere to the recommended value size. It's therefore foolhardy
to make any assumptions about what goes in and out of the registry, and
so this test is meaningless and error-prone.

According to MSDN, "If the data has the REG_SZ, REG_MULTI_SZ or
REG_EXPAND_SZ type, this size includes any terminating null character or
characters unless the data was stored without them. [...] If the data
has the REG_SZ, REG_MULTI_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ type, the string may not
have been stored with the proper terminating null characters. Therefore,
even if the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS, the application should
ensure that the string is properly terminated before using it;
otherwise, it may overwrite a buffer."
It's therefore dangerous to pass it off unbounded as we do, and in fact
this led to crashes on real systems.

Byte slices aren't necessarily aligned, which means casting them to
integer types and dereferencing may result in an unaligned load. This
is mostly fine on Intel but isn't necessarily fine on other platforms.
Any good compiler will generate optimal code for the platform using the
pattern of this commit.

Introduce OpenRemoteKey function that opens some
root registry keys on remote computer.
Also add PERFORMANCE_DATA key, since it is one of
root keys accessible via OpenRemoteKey.

If we want new secure DLL approach to be adopted, we should make
conversion as simple as possible to explain and implement.
I think that replacing
syscall.NewLazyDLL(...) -> windows.NewLazySystemDLL(...)
is easier than
syscall.NewLazyDLL(...) -> &windows.LazyDLL{Name: ..., System: true}
So I propose we introduce convenience function NewLazySystemDLL.
$GOROOT/src/mksyscall_windows.go changes in the following CL.
